"How did you sleep last night?"

Lady Huang sat down beside Yan Bin, asking with a cheerful smile.

Yan Bin hurriedly stood up, speaking a bit anxiously, "I slept very well."

"Sit down and talk, no need to be nervous." At her words, Yan Bin carefully sat down.

Looking at this still baby-faced Yan Bin, Lady Huang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, feeling a bit of pity.

"I’ve already contacted your parents. They’ll be coming to take you ho soon," Lady Huang said.

"Parents?"

Yan Bin gazed towards the distant sky. His parents had beco a vague mory.

The deepest impression was riding on his father’s shoulders, going shopping with his mother and aunt.

"Binbin, you need to learn to walk on your own, don’t always make your father carry you."

A woman said to him with a laugh, and that should be his mother, right?

"I’m still a kid, when dad gets old, I will carry him and let him ride on my shoulders."

The man beneath him laughed happily at these words, but his face was blurry.

Although a child of five should rember things, for so reason, his impression of his parents was very faint.

Initially, he cried and made a fuss to go ho, to see his mom and dad, but after being beaten a few tis, he stopped crying and making a fuss.

The beatings ca from his aunt, and others too, but he didn’t hate his aunt because she never hit him too hard.

"What about my aunt? Is she... Is she not coming back?" Yan Bin withdrew his gaze and asked.

"Your aunt... she’s gone, said she was going to see if the cosmos flowers have blood."

Lady Huang hesitated for a mont, but ultimately chose to tell the truth. Despite the child’s young face, his words and actions gave off an unexpectedly mature feeling.

A lot of this information Lady Huang knew was from a phone call with Huang Lancai, who was on her way back.

When Yan Bin heard all of this, his eyes glead as if he rembered sothing, but he didn’t show it.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Lady Huang asked.

She almost instinctively treated him like an adult.

"Auntie said I should be going to school at my age, so I think once I go back, I should go to school," Yan Bin said.

"Your aunt is right, you’re still young, there’s a lot of life ahead, learning more is good," Lady Huang said.

At her words, Yan Bin smiled slightly and said, "But... I might not learn well."

"I... I haven’t been to school. So things my aunt taught , I... I might learn a trade, so I can support myself," Yan Bin said with a smile.

Lady Huang, hearing this, felt her heart ache slightly, "You’re still a child, you don’t have to think about so much. Once you find your mom and dad, everything will get better."

"I don’t know. They might already have other children. I... when I go back, I don’t know if they’ll dislike ," Yan Bin said, his smile fading into worry.

"How could they? You’re their flesh and blood. Even though you haven’t seen each other for years and may feel a bit estranged, they surely love you," Lady Huang hurriedly reassured him.

"Actually, it doesn’t matter if they don’t love . I can take care of myself, and that’s better than the days in the circus."

Yan Bin’s face broke into a smile again, his smile was beautiful and bright.

"Yes, there are plenty of good days ahead."

Talking with him, Lady Huang’s mood seed to lift as well.

"I’ll give you my contact information. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call ," Lady Huang said.

"Grandma Huang, you... you’re really nice," Yan Bin said.

"There are many good people in this world. Don’t lose hope because of those few bad people in the circus," Lady Huang said earnestly.

"I know, my aunt said the sa thing," Yan Bin said.

"Your aunt is really an amazing person," Lady Huang said.

"Yes," Yan Bin nodded repeatedly at her words, his eyes sparkling.

"Aunt is the best to , I... I..." Yan Bin seed to rember sothing, his voice choked with emotion.

This ti, Lady Huang didn’t interrupt his feelings, just quietly sat with him. The sunlight was warm on them.

-----------------

After receiving the phone call, Yan Bin’s parents first thought it was a scam because over the years, they had received many such calls.

But the person on the other end spoke convincingly, and eventually sent a few photos over, which made Zheng Hongi imdiately believe it was undoubtedly her son.

It wasn’t because the boy in the photos resembled her son from back then, but because he looked exactly like her ex-husband as a child—the face shape, the brow, it was like they were cast from the sa mold.

Yes, she and her ex-husband were divorced.

Her ex-husband remarried and had a new family, but only she was stuck in the past, unable to move on, still searching far and wide for her son all these years.

So Zheng Hongi imdiately packed her things to head to Bin Hai.

"The weather’s warm in Bin Hai, you don’t need to bring too many clothes."

Zheng Hongi’s mother helped with the packing.

Ever since their daughter and grandson disappeared, the couple had stopped doing business, spending their ti searching for their daughter and grandson’s whereabouts.

Since Zheng Hongi’s divorce, they had moved in together.

Zheng Hongi’s father said nothing, just quietly placed a photo album in the suitcase.

In the album were photos of their daughter and grandson.

"When you see Binbin, ask him if he knows his aunt’s whereabouts," Father Zheng said in a low voice.

He had only two daughters in his lifeti. The elder daughter was raised by them personally and had always been close, but after the birth of the younger one, they were busy with business and mostly left her in the elder daughter’s care.

They felt they owed her, and ever since the younger daughter went missing, they were deeply guilt-ridden.

But who could they bla? The elder daughter? She must be more upset than they were.

Zheng Hongi hurried out the door with her luggage, the elderly couple following behind.

"You don’t have to see off," Zheng Hongi said.

"It’s fine, we’ll just take a walk with you," Father Zheng replied.

Zheng Hongi glanced at the courtyard behind them, then said, "You two stay and clean up the yard. Otherwise, when Binbin cos back and sees the ssy yard, he won’t recognize his own ho."

The house was still the sa, the yard still the sa.

But now it was covered with the marks of ti, and the family wasn’t as complete as before.

Upon hearing this, the couple exchanged a look and didn’t insist further, just reminded her, "When you see Binbin, call us first."

Zheng Hongi nodded, then left without looking back, carrying her luggage.

This scene had been repeated countless tis, but each ti ended in disappointnt.

Yet, even so, Zheng Hongi couldn’t hide her excited feelings at this mont.

She was filled with the anticipation of soon seeing her son.

And the anxiety over whether he actually was her son.

She felt as if her heart was gripped by a giant hand, leaving her breathless.

She took a few quick steps, opened her mouth wide, and breathed heavily to mask her nervousness and unease.
